GEORGE M. SCHRQEDTER, 0F CHIGAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOB TO WILLIAM COOPER AND NEPI-IEVJS, A ODEPORATION OF ILLINOIS.

. ANIIVIAL BLANKET.

Application filed October 10, 1924. Serial No. 742,767.

To all whom it may, concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE M. Sonnonn'rnn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the connty of Cook and State or Illinois, have invented certain new and useful llmprovev ments in an. Animal Blanket; and I do hereby declare that the following: is a full, clear, and exact description ot the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to blankets adapted to be placed on animals. Y

Various devices of this character have been proposed, more or less complicated in construction, awkward to apply and adjust and not well adapted to remain in position.

It is an object, therefore, of the present invention to provide a blanket simple in construction, easy to apply and retaining its position satisfactorily.

Other and further important objects or this invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the accompanying drawings and the following specification.

The invention (in a preferred form) is illustrated on the drawings and hereinafter more tally described.

()n the drawings:

Figure 1 shows a cow with a blanket constructed in accordance with the present in vention.

"Figure 2 is a plan view o1 the blanket.

its shown on the drawings:

. The blanket as illustratedeomprises two pieces of material 1, l united by a seam 2 adapted to extend along the bacr oi the animal At its forward end the blanket is cut away to fit he neck and shoulders of the animal and to strengthen this portion of the blanket a strip 3 of suitable reinforcing material may be secured along its margin.

Running transversely across the blanket, and stitched or otherwise secured thereto, is a strap, 4 adapted to pass under'the body of the animal as shown in Figure 1.-

along each side of the blanket and are pro rided with suitable fastening means 6 and T that these straps may be connected the animals chest;

From the center seam 2 straps 8 extend obliquely outwardly and rearwardly to the margin of the blanket. When the blanket has been laid on the animal thetree ends of these straps are passed forwardly between the legs and then out throughslots 5) in the blanket for attachment to the rear ends-of the straps 5. These straps 8 cause the blanket to lit snugly around the rump and along; the sides.

I am aware that numerous struction may be varied through a wide range withoutdeparting from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purposelimiting the patentgranted otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim my invention:

1. An animal blanket having straps adapted when in use to extend horizontally along; the lower part of the sides of the animal and to be connected across the chest, other straps adapted to extend from the middle of the back out the animal diagonally downwardly and rearwardly to the margin oi? the blanket, around the legs, and then through openings in the blanket for attach.- mentto the rear ends of said horizontal straps.

2. An animal in place by only two ,lines of straps, one passing in a vertical. plane around the body of the animal and the other passing around details of conblanket adapted to be held the chest, alon..; the sides, between the legs and out over the rump.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing-y witnesses.
